Sparkling Wine Guide

Champagne, Cava or Prosecco: which one to choose?

Sparkling wines are the most gifted and least understood wines. Here we explain the differences in simple terms.

Champagne

Produced exclusively in the Champagne region of France. Traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle. The most elegant and highest priced. Ideal for very special celebrations.

Cava

The Spanish sparkling wine made with the same method as Champagne but with local grapes. Excellent value for money. Versatile and very food-friendly.

Prosecco

Italian, fruitier and lighter. Tank fermentation (Charmat method). The most accessible and perfect for appetizers, casual toasts and cocktails.

At what temperature should they be served?

All sparkling wines are served well chilled: between 6 and 8 °C. Take them out of the refrigerator just before serving.
